DUDE!! Residential sales are one thing, but closing on a commercial property that size takes some **skills**. I was only involved in one commercial deal in all my years in the biz and it was on the fringes. That sucker couldn't close fast enough for my taste. Funny thing was, it wasn't the actual property that was issue. It was navigating all the egos through a six million dollar agreement. Gah! You have my admiration for jumping in and taking it through the whole process. I do hope you had a fitting celebration after the closing! For those outside the real estate biz, to give you and idea of what an accomplishment this is - imagine the difference between a VW Bug and an 18-wheeler. They both will get you down the road, but have vastly different rules along the way. Think you could get a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)? Barry has the chops for the CDL. I spent 20 years in the biz and will stick with the Bug. Oh, and those pics are awesome! Thanks for sharing. I like the one where you're smiling. Probably on your way to have some pizza. ;-P

LOL. Nice to hear from you, you are always such an encouragement. This was not always easy and that also like you -- included navigating some of the people issues involved but I cannot say more than that. Man it is nice to hear another real estate business related opinion, it is true, basic residential sales are one thing, high end commercial deals are another *animal* See what I did there Deb?? Ha! I pulled this deal off the resuscitator one night after midnight, with a lot of emails to all the parties, the other agents, their clients, and also 3-4 Conference calls with my clients both in different parts of the world at the time. Negotiation takes many forms. Pizza was had after this file, a couple of times LOL....We shall cover that another day! Thanks Deb!

Lol! Good one... *animal*... HA! Totally understand the privacy issues. We used to (half) joke about the [RESPA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Estate_Settlement_Procedures_Act) police raiding the office if we were out of compliance on something. Am so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. Now it's just making sure I don't put my client's address on their key tag. Much simpler. Oh, and I hope it was at least a deluxe pizza and they used the primo pepperoni.
